Motion confirms that equipment 1 also comprises the filter unit 7 that is used for accelerometer signal is carried out filtering, makes possibly the corresponding frequency of frequency pass through filter unit 7 with the motion that will confirm.Noise and the undesirable environmental effect of possibility have been reduced like this to accelerometer signal.In this embodiment, motor message should be indicated breathing rate or heart rate.Therefore filter unit 7 is suitable for accelerometer signal is carried out filtering, makes the corresponding frequency of possible frequency of the motion that causes with respiratory movement or by cardiomotility pass through filter unit.Particularly, filter unit 7 can be suitable for filtering 0.1 to the interior frequency of 3Hz frequency range.Can also breathe for definite, filtering 0.1 is to the interior frequency of 2Hz frequency range, and in order to confirm heart rate, frequency in the 3Hz frequency range is arrived in filtering 0.5, that is, and and through filter unit 7.
Motion is confirmed that equipment also comprises according to the motor message that is generated and is confirmed that the breathing rate of breathing rate confirms unit 5 and confirm that according to the motor message that is generated the heart rate of heart rate confirms unit 6.If filter unit 7 is suitable for utilizing the first filter filtering accelerometer signal; Be used for the filtering accelerometer signal to confirm breathing; And if filter unit 7 is suitable for utilizing the second filter cell filtering accelerometer signal; Be used for the filtering accelerometer signal to confirm heart rate; Preferably be independent of the accelerometer signal that the accelerometer signal combination that utilizes second filter filtering utilizes first filter filtering; Wherein, the motor message that is generated by the accelerometer signal of first filter filtering through combination is provided to breathing rate and confirms unit 5, confirms unit 6 and be provided to heart rate through the motor message that combination is generated by the accelerometer signal of second filter filtering.
Preferably confirm that by breathing rate unit 5 confirms to be provided to the fundamental frequency of motor message that breathing rate confirms unit 5 as breathing rate.Preferably through confirming to be provided to the fundamental frequency of motor message that heart rate confirms unit 6 as heart rate.
In another preferred embodiment, confirm that by breathing rate unit 5 confirms in the motor messages that the inverse of the interval between the peak value is as breathing rate in succession.Can confirm the peak value of motor message through the zero passage of identification motor message first derivative.For fear of detecting false peaks, can apply extra restriction to peak value.For example, only those peak values that surpass threshold value in the motor message are used for confirming breathing rate.For example, can confirm threshold value through calibration.
Motor message generation unit 3 is suitable for repeating to generate motor message based on the accelerometer signal that generates in formerly the time frame on the time.Can be directed against practical situation like this, for example,, adjust the combination of accelerometer signal to the actual orientation of multiaxis accelerometer.For example, even the people changes its posture, so also allow to confirm assignor's breathing and at least one motor message in the cardiomotility.Time frame is preferably 20 seconds or littler, further selects 10 seconds or littler, more preferably 5 seconds or littler.
Motor message generation unit 3 is suitable for making up accelerometer signal, makes the accelerometer signal major part with peak acceleration variation contribute to motor message.In this embodiment, motor message generation unit 3 is suitable for the accelerometer signal of different spaces axle is carried out principal component analysis, wherein, and the motor message of first principal component of gained for generating.
The effect of three accelerometer signal of combination will be described with reference to figure 2 and 3 hereinafter, particularly, through carrying out principal component analysis to generate motor message.
Schematic and the exemplary accelerometer signal S that shows the arbitrary unit that depends on time t (second) of Fig. 2 x, S y, S zBecause three axis accelerometer is with respect to the reason of the orientation of the motion that will confirm, accelerometer signal S xShow the maximum that causes by people's motion at place, three axis accelerometer 2 positions and change, and accelerometer signal S zOnly show little variation.These accelerometer signal S x, S y, S zCombination results motor message M, therefore it shows bigger variation and has bigger signal to noise ratio.
Fig. 3 shows the same accelerometer signal after people 4 posture has changed.After this posture change, accelerometer signal S zShow maximum variation, and accelerometer signal S yShow minimum variation.Yet because the combination of three accelerometer signal that motor message generation unit 3 is carried out has generated motor message M, it still shows bigger variation and therefore has bigger signal to noise ratio.So even after people's posture has changed, the motor message that is generated still shows big variation and has big signal to noise ratio.In Fig. 2 and 3, variation or fluctuation in the signal of about four second time are caused by breathing.So, can confirm the breathing rate that per minute is breathed for 15 times from the motor message shown in Fig. 2 and 3.
In another preferred embodiment, the motor message generation unit is suitable for the accelerometer signal of linear combination different spaces axle, wherein, accelerometer signal is carried out weighting, makes the accelerometer signal with peak acceleration variation have weight limit.For example; The motor message generation unit can be suitable for confirming according to the corresponding accelerometer signal and the dependency of the accelerometer signal with peak acceleration variation the weight of accelerometer signal; Wherein, if corresponding dependency is bigger, then the weight of corresponding accelerometer signal is bigger.
Preferably confirm dependency through definite " sample correlation coefficient " or " Pearson product moment correlation coefficient ".
Can describe through linear combination accelerometer signal S by following equation x, S y, S zGenerate motor message M:
M=w xS x+w yS y+w zS z, (1)
Wherein, w x, w y, w zThe expression corresponding weights.
Preferred definite weighter factor w x, w y, w z, make motor message have maximum signal to noise ratio.These weighter factors depend on the orientation of accelerometer, particularly, depend on the people's that the multiaxis accelerometer is attached to posture, therefore preferred regular update weighter factor w x, w y, w zBased on the accelerometer signal of specific time frame formerly (being preferably 20 seconds or littler), in the regular moment, for example per second calculates weighter factor.Preferably, if weighter factor changed between two moment, the motor message generation unit is suitable between the weighter factor that first definite constantly weighter factor and second is confirmed constantly, carrying out linear interpolation, so that guarantee level and smooth motor message waveform.
In a preferred embodiment, according to the phase relation between the accelerometer signal, weighter factor is+1 or-1.The correlation coefficient that is preferably based between reference axis and other two axles is confirmed symbol, for example, if the x axle is a reference axis, preferably through following equation definition weighter factor:
w x=1, (2)
w y=symbol (C (S x, S y)), (3)
w z=symbol (C (S x, S z)), (4)
Wherein, symbol (...) be sign function, and wherein, C (...) correlation coefficient of expression between the corresponding accelerometer signal.Preferably, degree of will speed up meter signal is regarded as reference axis in the accelerometer axis that the possible frequency corresponding to the motion that will confirm flies to have in the frequency range amplitude peak.
Can also be with three accelerometer signal are used the linear combination that determined first principal component of principal component analysis is regarded as three accelerometer signal; Because principal component analysis is orthogonal linear transformation; Particularly; At uncorrelated component, promptly decompose the rotation of three accelerometer signal in the linear hybrid of so-called principal component.The characteristic value decomposition of the covariance matrix through three accelerometer signal obtains principal component.First principal component is the linear combination that the maximum of accelerometer signal is changed contributive three accelerometer signal.For example, be the largest source that changes in the accelerometer signal if breathe, three accelerometer signal are used the principal component analysis generation make the combination of breathing maximized three accelerometer signal of motor message of bringing out as first principal component.In order to ensure breathing is the largest source that accelerometer signal changes; Can be by filter unit 7 filtering accelerometer signal; Make accelerometer signal be limited to and go up the possible corresponding frequency band of breathing rate with the physiology; For example, be limited to 0.1 to 2Hz frequency band, it is breathed for 6 to 120 times corresponding to per minute.
In another embodiment, motor message generation unit 3 is suitable for the accelerometer signal of different spaces axle is used independent component analysis, and according to using component motion that isolated component that independent component analysis obtains confirms the motion that indication will be confirmed as motor message.
Can independent component analysis be regarded as the expansion of principal component analysis, it finds linear combination not only uncorrelated but also the statistical independent accelerometer signal.For this reason, the extraneous information that does not comprise in the independent component analysis algorithm use covariance matrix, the normally statistic of high-order more.Because the motor message that will confirm particularly, is instantaneous relevant by the motor message of breathing and/or cardiomotility causes, and preferably uses the SOBI algorithm to carry out independent component analysis, because the SOBI algorithm has utilized the time structure of accelerometer signal.Dysentery carried out diagonalization simultaneously to one group of covariance matrix when the SOBI algorithm was based on difference.Opposite with principal component analysis, the isolated component that utilizes independent component analysis to obtain is not sorted according to variance.So, even breathe and/or cardiomotility changes to the maximum of accelerometer signal that contribution, the isolated component relevant with breathing and/or heart rate are arranged also may not be first.Therefore the motor message generation unit is suitable for confirming that isolated component is as the motor message of indicating the motion that will confirm.
The motor message generation unit can be suitable for through confirming to have in preset frequency the isolated component of the motion that the indication of amplitude peak will confirm, confirms the component motion of the motion that indication will be confirmed from using isolated component that independent component analysis obtains.For example, if should confirm breathing rate or heart rate based on motor message, the isolated component that its power spectrum is had peak-peak in the frequency interval that corresponds respectively to possible breathing rate or possible heart rate is confirmed as component motion.
In another embodiment, can confirm the isolated component of indication motion based on the mark of having considered additional features.Select to have the component of the isolated component of minimum score then as the indication motion.For example, the certain characteristics sum that can calculate isolated component is as mark:
Figure BDA0000115485840000111
Wherein, mark (IC x) mark of x isolated component of expression, the number of the characteristic that N representes to use, F i(IC x) expression is directed against the value of i characteristic of x isolated component, and w iExpression is corresponding to the weight of i characteristic.For example, preferred feature is based on the fundamental frequency of isolated component, the hybrid weight of isolated component, the spectral shape of isolated component etc.Because the change of breathing, heart rate and posture normally takes place along with the time gradually, so also can use the characteristic of the knowledge of breathing, heart rate and/or the posture considered in the previous period.For example, can be with the absolute difference of the fundamental frequency of isolated component in the fundamental frequency of isolated component and previous period as characteristic.For first period of analyzing, the selection of the isolated component of indication motion can only not rely on those characteristics from the knowledge of previous period based on (1), and perhaps initial value is estimated to the characteristic of past data in (2).
In an embodiment, the principal component that can also use the motion that method that the above-mentioned isolated component that will indicate the motion that will confirm confirms as motor message confirms will to confirm from the indication that principal component analysis obtains is as motor message.
In another embodiment; Motor message generation unit 3 is suitable for confirming the maximization projection signal of acceleration change and generating motor message through the maximized projection signal of combination to each spatial axes of accelerometer; Wherein, The motor message generation unit is suitable for through projection gravitational vectors on the subspace of the additional space axis limit of nominal gravitational vectors and accelerometer with respect to the motion of the spatial axes of accelerometer and through the corresponding axis in the varitron space; Make the projection that has projected to the projection campaign of gravitational vectors on the corresponding axis of conversion in the subspace maximize, confirm the maximization projection signal of the spatial axes of accelerometer.
Because because of motion, for example much little because of the inertial acceleration force of gravity acceleration of breathing or cardiomotility causes, so axle, particularly, three normal axis of accelerometer are represented gravitational vectors at each x, y, the projection that z is last.In Fig. 4 exemplary illustration this situation.
Each of accelerometer x, y, the last value of z is the projection of gravitational vectors on corresponding axis.This value is by the angle between gravitational vectors and the corresponding axis, and promptly respectively by angle α, beta, gamma and following equation are confirmed:
S x=G·cosα, (6)
S y=G·cosβ, (7)
S z=G·cosγ, (8)
